So far I know how to open the file and things of that nature. I get stuck trying to go through the file picking out the string that I want. Someone please help...Thank You!
It's good that you have worked out how to open the file, but we can't help you unless you tell us what method you used to open the file.
There are several methods so I could easily choose the wrong one if I just reply.
Remember the more detail you give the easier it is for us to answer your questions.
basically you need to read the file line by line (I assume it's a text file if it contains string data) and search each line for the desired string.
